It sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay ahead of the V6; the cabin air filter is typically behind the glove box.

On the 2018 Ford Taurus with the 3.5L twin-turbo V6, the engine filter is accessible from the top of the bay by releasing airbox clips and lifting the cover. The cabin filter commonly requires lowering the glove box and removing a panel to access the HVAC housing. If clips feel tight, avoid forcing them to prevent damage.
