Oil it right before winter. if you really want, oil it in the spring.
You really should pressure wash it, but I of it to my own Ipe deck. I don't take care of my own deck and it get a coat of oil and pressure washed one time in 10 years that I have had it. Its still in very god shape. I use a deck wash to get rid of some of the darker color. Pi gets deep dark brown over the years. I don't know how it holds up in other climates aroudn the country, but in Sunny Socal, there's really not to much that can do much damage.
