What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a heavy duty diesel engine equipped with an aftertreatment device containing an oxidation and/or reduction catalyst, which method comprises lubricating said engine with a lubricating oil composition having a TBN of at least about 8, said composition comprising: (a) a major amount of oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) an amount of one or more dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate metal salt introducing into said lubricating oil composition no more than 0.06 wt. % of phosphorus; (c) at least 1.2 wt. % of hindered phenol antioxidant; (d) boron, and/or a boron-containing compound or compounds in an amount providing said lubricating oil composition with at least 200 ppm by weight of boron; and (e) a minor amount of detergent. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said lubricating oil composition is an API CI-4 lubricating oil. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said hindered phenol antioxidant is present in an amount of at least 1.4 wt. %. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said lubricating oil composition has at least one of: (a) a phosphorus content of no more than 0.05 wt. %; and (b) a sulfur content of less than about 1.0 wt. %. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said lubricating oil composition has at least one of: (a) a phosphorus content of from about 0.02 to about 0.05 wt. %; and (b) a sulfur content of less than about 0.06 wt. %. 6. A heavy duty diesel engine equipped with an aftertreatment device containing an oxidation and/or reduction catalyst, which engine is lubricated with a lubricating oil composition having a TBN of at least about 8, said composition comprising: (a) a major amount of oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) an amount of one or more dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate metal salt introducing into said lubricating oil composition no more than 0.06 wt. % of phosphorus; (c) at least 1.2 wt. % of hindered phenol antioxidant; (d) boron, and/or a boron-containing compound or compounds in an amount providing said lubricating oil composition with at least 200 ppm by weight of boron; and (e) a minor amount of a detergent. 7. The engine of claim 6, wherein said lubricating oil composition is an API CI-4 lubricating oil. 8. The engine of claim 6, wherein said hindered phenol antioxidant is present in said lubricating oil composition in an amount of at least 1.4 wt. %. 9. The engine of claim 6, wherein said lubricating oil composition has at least one of: (a) a phosphorus content of no more than 0.05 wt. %; and (b) a sulfur content of less than about 1.0 wt. %. 10. The engine of claim 9, wherein said lubricating oil composition has at least one of: (a) a phosphorus content of from about 0.02 to about 0.05 wt. %; and (b) a sulfur content of less than about 0.06 wt. %.
