This one just happened to me. White smoke out of the exhaust is an oil problem so don't worry. Black smoke out of the exhaust is a gas/air problem. I had the exact same problems as you and I took it in and they replaced the plugs/wires. This didnt really help that much so I took it back in and they replaced the O2 sensor and it runs great. Try the oxygen sensor first.
Sounds to me like since you just got an oil change and you used the high mileage oil, which is a little thinner for older engines. This oil really is great but sometimes it creates oil leaks because it is thinner. These arent a big deal and dont need immediate replacement but they do affect the engine otherwise. The oil leak can cause things like the 02 sensor to prematurely go out. Happened to me.
Good luck!
