| 1. A control apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine in order to support a metering work of a hydraulic fluid
of an automatic transmission transmitting an output of the internal combustion engine to driving wheels, comprising:
a sensing unit sensing a temperature of the hydraulic fluid of said automatic transmission;
an output unit outputting information indicating that a state suitable for said metering work is attained, based on said temperature
of the hydraulic fluid; and
a control unit controlling a speed of said internal combustion engine so that said temperature of the hydraulic fluid attains
a predetermined temperature
wherein said control unit controls said speed of said internal combustion engine so that said speed is maintained, when said
temperature of the hydraulic fluid attains a predetermined temperature.
