The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6s intake air, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe.

On the 2014 Ford Taurus, the engine filter keeps dust and grit out of the intake tract to support power and fuel economy, while the cabin filter traps pollen, road dust, and odors entering the ventilation system. Using OEM-spec Motorcraft filters preserves proper fit and sealing for both systems, which is especially important during MetroWest pollen spikes and winter road-salt conditions.
