Could be a toasted primary or secondary O2 sensor. The stock cats last a long time. Should have a shop run a diagnostic with a proper scan tool to see if both O2 sensors are working correctly. If so, then it's the cat that needs replacing.
Not a bad idea to do the fuel filter if you haven't done it in a while, but it's unlikely it would cause that code to show up.
