Do I need to treat my EPDM rubber roof

I replaced an old felt roof last summer with an EPDM rubber roof kit, I keep it clean from bird mess and brush it off every few months, but do I need to, or should I, treat it with anything to preserve it?  

Any type of oil, or just leave it be?  It’s in direct sunlight most of the day so wasn’t sure about it drying and cracking over time?

  • No just leave it, did you fit it yourself or get a company in?
    If the latter you should have a 25 year guarantee.
    Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'
