A Rage to Live: A Biography of Richard and Isabel BurtonTheir marriage was both improbable and inevitable. Isabel Arundell was a schoolgirl, the scion of England's most distinguished Catholic family. When she first saw him while walking at a seaside resort, Richard Burton had already made his mark as a linguist (he was fluent in twenty nine languages), scholar, soldier, and explorer at once a symbol of Victorian England's vision of empire and an avowed rebel against its mores.

Their marriage was both improbable and inevitable. Isabel Arundell was a schoolgirl, the scion of England's most distinguished Catholic family. When she first saw him while walking at a seaside resort, Richard Burton had already made his mark as a linguist (he was fluent in twenty-nine languages), scholar, soldier, and explorer--at once a symbol of Victorian England's vision of empire and an avowed rebel against its mores. When she turned and saw him staring after her, she decided that she would marry him. By their next meeting, Burton had become the first infidel to infiltrate Mecca as one of the faithful, and, in an expedition to discover the source of the Nile, would soon be the first white man to see Lake Tanganyika. After being married, the Burtons traveled and experienced the world, from diplomatic postings in Brazil and Africa to hair-raising adventures in the Syrian desert. In later life Richard courted further controversy as a self-proclaimed erotologist and the translator of The Kama Sutra. Based on previously unavailable archives, Mary Lovell has written a compelling joint biography that sets Isabel in her proper place as Burton's equal in daring and endurance, a fascinating figure in her own right.

OEM quality and perfect fit with no leaks
Size: 1 Count
This is the real deal for anyone wanting to stick with OEM parts for their Chrysler or Dodge vehicle. The filter arrived sealed and well-packaged, and installation was quick with no surprises. This fits my 2016 Chrysler 300 sedan. It fits perfectly and performs just like the one from the dealership but without the inflated price. There were no leaks, and oil pressure stayed consistent post-change. If you're doing your own oil changes, it’s worth sticking with a filter that’s built specifically for your engine - this one does the job right. Pros: True OEM fit and function Well-sealed and clean install Performs reliably Tip: Pre-fill the filter with oil before installation to reduce dry start wear and improve circulation right away.

I regularly buy Mopar filters for my vehicles and have never had a problem with them. These are great filters at a good price and of course it is very convenient buying on Amazon.
