Summary: Consider the oscillation and asymptotic behavior of the following even order nonlinear neutral damped functional differential equation \[ [x(t)+\sum^h_{i=1}p_i(t)x(\tau_i(t))]^{(n)}+b(t)[x(t)+\sum^h_{i=1}p_i(t)x(\tau_i(t))]^{(n-1)}+q(t)f(x(\sigma(t)))=0,\;t\geqslant t_0. \] Two criteria for the oscillation of all its solutions are obtained. Furthermore, two sufficient conditions for the oscillation and asymptotic behavior of every bounded solution are presented.
