Hi Honerua,
The oil filter is located on the left side of the block. This is the side facing the radiator. Here is a picture that should make it easier to understand. This information is for a 3.0L,if you have a different motor,drop me a line. Good hunting, ChuckWhere is the oil filter located in a 1997 ford - autodoc.gif

Where is the commen oil leak on a 97 ford taurus

Maybe, maybe not, It's most likely a bad rear seal or worn main bearings but check the oil filter just to be safe. Sometimes things go wrong when changing the oil filter that can cause similar symptoms.
1) old gasket left behind.
2) cross threaded filter.
3) loose filter.
4) damage gasket or defective new filter.

Where is the oil sending unit on a 1996 ford taurus 3.0 liter engine located? glenn

On 3.0L OHV engines, the oil pressure sensor is located on the left side of the engine block above the flywheel. On 3.0L DOHC engines the sensor is located on the left side of the engine block above the oil filter. On 3.4L DOHC engines the sensor is screwed into the oil filter adapter. The oil pressure sensor operates the oil pressure warning lamp.

97 Taurus fuel filter

Not hard. It is located in front of the right front wheel. Be sure you new filter comes with new clips. All you need is a flat blade screwdriver and a pan to catch the gas that will run out.
