if your compression is good, I would hesitate to call it rings. Its possible you have bad valve guides, leaking oil in from the head. Same thing happened to our old prelude pizza-mobile.

White smoke says water or coolant, as in a blown head gasket or a cracked head... but good compression would make that kinda weird.

Have you checked your coolant level recently?

Is the smoke silver/bluish or definitely white?

5 minutes into driving would be about the time the thermostat opens...
sounds a lot like a blown headgasket to me.
