I just changed oil today on a 53 degree day, I changed my oil and switched the brand of oil I used to another 10w-40 and once I started it after like 5 seconds (in idle) it started blowing white smoke from exhaust and from engine, could it be just because I switched the oil brands? Do you think it'll stop once I warm up the engine? Haven't rode it for a week but it was riding fine last weekend? Any ideas??

make sure the oil level is correct. if it is too high, it could potentially cause that.

Could also be condensation in the exhaust, if it doesn't stop after warming up then there is an issue.

I plan on going and trying to warm it up. My fourwheeler always smokes from the exhaust when its first started but stops blowing smoke when it's warmed up but it's never blown white smoke from engine where the exhaust connects to engine

Sorry missed the part about the exhaust at the head. Could be a head gasket leak.

It's never smoked there before just started yesterday though

Take the header off and inspect the gasket, it's going to go whenever it wants, not when it's convenient for you, if that makes sense lol

Did you wash it before you changed the oil ?
