you'd most likely over filled it did you check the dip stick? because what happens is it overfilled and burns off that way in the combustation chamber. also you might have a hurt motor if the oil light came on.

Naw didn't overfill thas the first thing I checked and oil light was on cuz I burn a lil oil from needing to do valve seals in the semi near future...could it be because I usually run a synthetic oil 99% of the time and then switched to a non syn? Keep it comin

well if the valve seals are leaking that will cause smoke from the oil burning... when you filled the oil there would have been alot of oil in the head still and when you fired it up alot of the oil would have went down into the combustion and made it smoke the only thing is is that its normally a blueish smoke for oil and a black smoke normally means fuel.
