A system and method for controlling an internal combustion engine include determining oil responsiveness based on pressure variations associated with oil pump pulses in response to a stimulus, and controlling the engine based on the determined oil responsiveness. The stimulus may be a change in oil temperature, engine speed, or commanded pump pressure, for example. The system and method may also use the rate of change of mean oil pressure to determine the oil responsiveness or measure of oil viscosity. Oil responsiveness may be used to control hydraulic actuators, such as variable cam timing devices, or valve deactivation devices. |
