It probably smoked all along to some degree. Use your brakes more to slow down and not your engine. That'll help. I used to be able to see smoke all the time but I've been using the engine way less to slow. How many miles are on that CX?

here's a theory...If your car only smokes for a little while when you first change the oil, then maybe you are overfilling. Then as you drive you burn off the little bit of excess you put in there and all is well until the next time you change it.

That quote in your signature is quite fitting for you.
