DTC P0420 = Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
You can drive it but it would be wise to have the vehicle checked out as soon as possible. Putting this off could cost you more in the long run. If you have other codes preceding code P0420 fix them in order as they come up before you attempt to fix P0420.

Can OBD code P0420 be cause from using 87 octane fuel in a 2010 Cadillac SRX?

OBD code P0420 indicates a problem with the catalytic converter's efficiency, and while using 87 octane fuel in a 2010 Cadillac SRX is not the primary cause of this code, it can potentially contribute to performance issues in some cases. Lower octane fuel may lead to incomplete combustion, which could generate more emissions and affect the catalytic converter's function over time. However, other factors such as a failing catalytic converter, oxygen sensor issues, or exhaust leaks are more likely to be the root causes of the P0420 code. It's advisable to diagnose the specific issue using a professional scan tool and inspection.

What code reader do i need for a 1995 Lincoln town car?

For a 1995 Lincoln Town Car, you'll need an OBD-I code reader since it uses the On-Board Diagnostics I system. Look for a code reader that specifically supports OBD-I vehicles, as many modern scanners are designed for OBD-II systems, which became standard in 1996. A common tool for OBD-I diagnostics is a simple code scanner or a more comprehensive tool that can read the specific codes for Ford vehicles from that era.
