I have a 2003 ML 500, and have changed the cabin filter twice. Mine is located on the underside of the dash panel on the passenger side. There are a couple of screws that must be removed to access the cabin filter. It's a body bender job, but only takes about 15 minutes.
The cabin air filter in a 2007 Ford Five Hundred is located behind the glove compartment. To access it, you need to open the glove compartment and remove it from its hinges, then unclip the cover to reach the filter. It's usually positioned vertically, and you can pull it out for replacement. Make sure to consult your owner's manual for specific instructions and any additional details.
According to the 2006 Ford 500 Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft FL-820-S )
I believe it is to the left of the air filter ( looking from the front of the vehicle )
Right on top after the air filter. It is expensive but a very easy switch out

On a 2007 Ford 500, the fuel filter is located along the fuel line, typically near the fuel tank. It is often mounted on the frame rail or near the rear axle. To access it, you may need to lift the vehicle and remove any protective covers or shields. Always ensure to relieve the fuel system pressure before attempting to replace the filter.
According to the 2011 Ford Escape Owner Guide : For the 3.0 liter V6 engine ( Motorcraft FL-500-S engine oil filter ) For the 2.5 liter four cylinder engine (Motorcraft FL-910 engine oil filter * ) ( * I was looking at www.fordparts.com and it shows part # FL-910 as being a spin on type of oil filter , apparently there is also a cartridge type oil filter , but Ford doesn't show the part # for that )
Only Ford wold know for sure but the name 500 was used by Ford in the 50s & 60s on the Fairlane 500 and Galaxy 500. I guess Ford just decided to use it on the car that replaced the Taurus.
For the ( 6 ) speed automatic transmission it is by the engine air filter housing according to the picture in the Owner Guide
