PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the accuracy of estimated oil temperature after engine start by minimizing error of estimated oil temperature initial value operated at a time of engine start. SOLUTION: The estimated oil temperature initial value THOstart at a time of engine start is calculated by a formula shown below. THOstart=THWstart-(THWstop-THOstop)×K1. In this formula, THWstart is cooling water temperature at a time of engine start, THWstop is cooling water temperature at a time of engine stop, THOstop is estimated oil temperature at the time of engine stop, and K1 is a correction value corresponding to engine stop time. Ambient temperature at the time of engine start is established as a lower limit guard value of the estimated oil temperature initial value THOstart to guard a lower limit of the estimated oil temperature initial value THOstart by ambient temperature at the time of engine start. Consequently, error of the estimated oil temperature initial value is minimized and the accuracy of estimated oil temperature after engine start is improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
