Abstract
A lubrication control apparatus for an automatic transmission includes a first lubrication circuit that supplies lubricating oil to a starting frictional engagement element to be engaged when a vehicle starts, a second lubrication circuit that supplies the lubricating oil to a lubricated portion other than the starting frictional engagement element, and a controller that performs control to increase a flow rate in the first lubrication circuit while limiting a flow rate in the second lubrication circuit when a temperature of the starting frictional engagement element is equal to or higher than a threshold temperature, and the controller changes the threshold temperature in accordance with the temperature of the lubricating oil.
