Summary: This article presents a new approach for investigating the oscillation properties of second order linear differential equations with a damped term containing a deviating argument $$ x''(t)-[P(t)x(r(t))]'+Q(t)x(l(t))=0,\quad r(t)\leq t. $$ To study this equation, a specially adapted version of Sturmian Comparison Method is developed and the following results are obtained: (a) A comprehensive description of all critical (threshold) states with respect to its oscillation properties for a linear autonomous delay differential equation $$ y''(t)-py'(t-\tau)+qy(t-\sigma)=0, \quad \tau>0,\;\infty\sigma\infty.$$ (b) Two versions of Sturm-Like Comparison Theorems. Based on these Theorems, sharp conditions under which all solutions are oscillatory for specific realizations of $P(t), r(t)$ and $l(t)$ are obtained. These conditions are formulated as the unimprovable analogues of the classical Knezer Theorem which is well-known for ordinary differential equations $(P(t)=0, l(t)=t)$. (c) Upper bounds for intervals, where any solution has at least one zero.
