In this paper, sufficient conditions are obtained for oscillation of all solutions of third order difference equations of the form yn+3 + rnyn+2 + qnyn+1 + pnyn = 0, n ≥ 0. These results are generalization of the results concerning difference equations with constant coefficients yn+3 + ryn+2 + qyn+1 + pyn = 0, n ≥ 0. Oscillation, nonoscillation and disconjugacy of a certain class of linear third order difference equations are discussed with help of a class of linear second order difference equations.
