Smoke at startup is perfectly normal. It's probably just a little oil smoke. Something that has to be put up with. You'll get used to it soon enough!

you should try "STP oil treatment" it comes in a blue bottle and is about as thick as maple syrup. you add it to your oil every oil change.( takes HELLA long to get all that **** out of the bottle) it helps a little for the engines that are a little old and smokey. hope this helps
