Engine torque control apparatus

An engine torque control apparatus for controlling the output torque of an engine (60) connected to a transmission (40) in a vehicle has a temperature sensor (55) for detecting the temperature of oil used by the transmission (40), and a controller (50) for limiting the output torque of the engine to an engine torque limit or less. The controller (50) functions to compare the oil temperature with a specific temperature, to set the engine torque limit to a first limiting value when the oil temperature is equal to or less than the specific temperature, and to increase the engine torque limit at a predetermined increase rate when the oil temperature exceeds the specific temperature.
