Our aim in this paper is to obtain a new oscillation criterion for equation $$y^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}+p\left(t\right)y^{\text{'}}+q\left(t\right)y=0$$ with a nonnegative coefficients which extends and improves some oscillation criteria for this equation. In the special case of equation (*), namely, for equation $y^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}+q\left(t\right)y=0$, our results solve the open question of $Chanturiya$.

The authors study the n-th order nonlinear neutral differential equations with the quasi – derivatives $L_n[x\left(t\right)+{(-1)}^{r}P\left(t\right)x\left(g\left(t\right)\right)]+\delta Q\left(t\right)f\left(x\left(h\left(t\right)\right)\right)=0,$ where $n\ge 2,r\in \{1,2\},$ and $\delta =\pm 1.$ There are given sufficient conditions for solutions to be either oscillatory or they converge to zero.
