White smoke comes from water, blue from burning oil and black from too rich a fuel mixture. If the engine was running before the oil change occurred then perhaps you put in far too much oil. This can force oil past seals and into the combustion chamber resulting in thick smoke. Carefully check the oil level on the dip stick for the correct fill level. If there is too much you must remove the overfill. If oil has entered the combustion chamber the plugs may be fouled. Pull one out and examine it. If it is not gray and clean you must clean them all before the spark will jump the gap and the engine can run. If the engine did not run before there is a great chance , based on white smoke, that water is entering the combustion chamber.

white smoke is probably steam,do a compression test on that cylinder,and check for any evidence of a blown head gasket,(oil in water or water in oil)
SOURCE: did my head gasket blow? lots of white exhaust and engine is sputtering
I would lean more towards bad intake gasket. Notorious for going bad on these engines.
