Seal older PT or leave it along?

I like the oil idea. Even with the areas that are checked I don't think the wife would go for a finish that's going to peel. Thanks...

I have used the ATO by Cabots that Milo mentioned a lot. Nice stuff. I like the Mahogany Flame color.
My recommendation would be good for a bandaid on decking that needs to be replaced, but just not right now......

Yes, the majority of decking is in very good condition. The areas that are going I'm more likely to just replace than bandaid. We just bought the place and I'm hell bent to not bandaid anything if I can afford it...

I used the mahogany ato on a PT porch swing frame I built 6 years ago, still looks great. Used the redwood to match the color of a second hand wooden swing set/slide and it did a nice job but the color is redder than I wanted. If I cared more I would go over it with the darker ato or stain.
