A system and a method that control warm-up of clutch fluid in a hybrid electric vehicle. The hybrid electric vehicle includes a clutch that controls power delivery between an engine and a motor and an oil pump that is operated by the motor and generates hydraulic oil pressure operating the clutch. The method includes determining, by a controller, whether delivery of power from the engine and motor in a transmission is cut and detecting temperature of the fluid using an oil temperature detector. In addition, the motor is maintained by the controller at a predetermined target speed to operate the oil pump connected to the motor when the detected temperature of the fluid is equal to or less than a predetermined temperature, wherein the predetermined target speed is a motor speed at which sufficient pressure for flowing the fluid is generated in the oil pump operating with the motor.

A method of oil pre-conditioning for an electric powertrain for a vehicle configured to provide electric propulsion of the vehicle, said electric powertrain comprising the first electric motor being linked to the first gear module, a secondary shaft being linked to the second gear module, the second electric motor being linked to the third gear module through a motor shaft, the differential being shared by both electric motors, The electric powertrain is surrounded by an oil. The method includes the steps of selecting an oil pre-conditioning configuration wherein the secondary shaft does not rotate and at least one of the first electric motor or the second electric motor rotates while the other is in driving mode leading to the heating of the oil to reach a threshold temperature and applying the selected oil pre-conditioning configuration.
