    Summary: We establish new oscillation criteria for second-order delay differential equations with mixed nonlinearities of the form \[ (p(t)x'(t))'+\sum^n_{i=1}p_i(t)x(t-\tau_i)+\sum^n_{i=1}q_i(t)|x(t-\tau_i)|^{\alpha_i}\text{sgn}\,x(t-\tau_i)=e(t),\quad t\geq 0, \] where \(p\), \(p_i\), \(q_i\), and \(e\) are continuous functions defined on \([0,\infty)\), and \(p(t)>0\), \(p_i(t)\geq 0\), and \(\alpha_1>\cdots>\alpha_m>1>\alpha_{m+1}>\cdots>\alpha_n>0\). No restriction is imposed on the potentials \(p_i\), \(q_i\), and \(e(t)\) to be nonnegative. These oscillation criteria extend and improve the results given in the recent papers. An interesting example illustrating the sharpness of our results is also provided.
