I have a 1979 or 1980 DT175. I'm trying to figure out which model year I have. The manufacture date is 6/79 but I'm not sure if that means its a 1980 model year or if it is indeed a 1979 model year.

Also what type of oil do I need for my DT?

My DT has been in a garage for about 10 years and I'm attempting to resurrect it.

Thanks

I know it's been 2 years, but since nobody answered, I'll give it a shot.

The VIN number will give you a good indication of the year. Each year they start over with 101 being the first number used, so if you number is low, it is probably an 80, but if it's a high number, then it's probably a 79.

You'll need two types of oil. You'll need a 2-stroke oil to put in the oil tank and a 4-stroke oil for the transmission.
