switched to mobil1 now puff of smoke when starting

I had the same issue yesterday when started my 4Runner remotely while it was parked in front of the house with the tailpipe facing the house entrance. A cloud of blue smoke came out as soon as the engine started and then it changed quickly to white smoke. I have not noticed blue smoke in the past and as OP used fully synthetic Mobil 1 EP 5W-30 and their EP oil filter in the fall. I drove it less than 1000 miles since the oil change. Also she started rough this time but I thought it would relate to the weak battery. It started fine the day before. Should I change this Mobil 1 EP oil or leave it until the next scheduled oil change?
