The author develops a transformation which transforms the ordinary differential equation \(\ddot x + f_1(x) \dot x + f_2(x) \dot x^2 + g(x) = 0\) into a Liénard equation whose properties are well-known. The periodicity and stability of solutions are then discussed. The work was prompted by a paper by \textit{H. L. Guidorizzi} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 176, 11-23 (1993; Zbl 0778.34019)].
