2000 Disco series II with 92,000. It was running a little rough so I decided to try the seafoam treatment. All was fine but afterwards the "service engine soon" light came on. The light was never on before. I am sure that it is due to the seafoam. The engine bogged a little as I was adding it and probably did misfire a few times. Can this code be reset by me or will it eventually go off. Or can autozone or someone reset it for me? Thanks in advance.

Autozone can reset it for you, and the light should not come back on unless you uncovered a problem. Before Autozone or whoever resets the code(s), write them down and post them and we can help with explanation and diagnosis.

It will also reset itself after so many cycles without issues. Normaly 15 to 20 starts and stops of the engine.
I guess I was freaking out for nothing. This morning I went out to leave home and I started the truck and drove for about 10 minutes when I realized the light was out. I don't remember exactly how many times I had started it but it was probably around 10-15. Or maybe it was just from sitting all night. Thanks for all the help and info.

Was the seafoam added to gas or oil? I have added it to my full tank of gas and had no major smoke or smoke issues...I know there are many uses of seafoam....

You add it through the air intake system. It causes a huge white cloud. The neighbors looked at me funny when I said "it's supposed to do that". Reset the engine light and been happy since.
