A general theory is given for autonomous perturbations of non-linear autonomous second order oscillators. It is found using a multiple scales method. A central part of it requires computation of Fourier coefficients for representation of the underlying oscillations, and these coefficients are found as convergent expansions in a suitable parameter.
