Vehicle lubrication structure and vehicle lubrication control method

A vehicle lubrication control method for a vehicle,

• the vehicle including a rotating electrical machine, a driving force transmission apparatus, a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a first oil path, a second oil path, an electric oil pump, and a controller,
• the first reservoir being configured to store oil,
• the second reservoir being configured to store the oil and having a capacity smaller than a capacity of the first reservoir,
• the first oil path connecting the first reservoir to the second reservoir,
• the second oil path connecting the second reservoir to the driving force transmission apparatus and the rotating electrical machine,
• the second oil path including branch oil paths for supplying the oil to the driving force transmission apparatus and the rotating electrical machine, respectively,
• the electric oil pump being provided in the first oil path or the second oil path,
• the electric oil pump being configured to supply the oil stored in the first reservoir to the driving force transmission apparatus and the rotating electrical machine,
• the controller being configured to control the electric oil pump, the vehicle lubrication control method comprising:
• receiving, by the controller, a signal indicating a request to start a vehicle system;
• and
• operating the electric oil pump for a constant time after the receiving, by the controller, the signal indicating the request to start the vehicle system.
