I thought it was 8/80, either way, take it in and get it fixed.

So have you verified that it is the cat? Take it in and see what they tell you. You might have other problems if your cat died so early.

1.) Why do you trust your mechanic?
2.) Cats only fail if they are beat up (heat)
3.) Excessive heat = lean condition
4.) Cause of lean condition = many items.

They're going to need to verify what's wrong first. That will be on your dollar.
