The third order delay equation

y‴(t) + a(t)yτ(t) = 0

is studied for its nonoscillatory nature under the general condition in which a(t) has been allowed to oscillate. It is shown by way of a differential inequality that if g(t) is a thrice differentiable and eventually positive function then

g‴(t) + t2|a(t)|g(t) ≤ 0

is sufficient for this equation to have bounded nonoscillatory solutions.
