CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Many people who have purchased new cars recently may be surprised about some new guidelines for oil changes.

Some auto manufacturers are suggested you stretch out that routine task from every 3,000 miles to every 5,000 miles now, depending on a few different factors.

Brittany Arnold was delighted to hear this, as she usually goes a few thousand miles past 3,000 anyway.

"It's all about money for me.  It's expensive to go every 3,000 miles.  So I put it off as long as I can," Arnold said.

That's fine, mechanics say, for some cars and some drivers.

"If you only drive your vehicle around town, three or four miles every day, sure you do need to change your oil every 3,000 miles," said Jeff York with Fleet Automotive on the west side of Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has named Mark Haught as Federal Security Director (FSD) for Charlotte Douglas International Airport. 

Haught joined TSA in 2004 as Deputy Federal Security Director at Chicago O'Hare International Airport and in 2005 was promoted to the FSD position at O'Hare. Most recently, he served as Area Director where he oversaw FSDs at airports in several states.

"Mark has demonstrated his skill as a leader during his time at TSA and we are pleased that he will be returning to the role of FSD to lead TSA's operations at Charlotte Douglas," said Chris McLaughlin, TSA's Assistant Administrator for Security Operations. ‪‪

Prior to joining TSA, Haught served as Deputy Assistant Director for Security and Logistics for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Washington, D.C.
