As soon as you start the car it blows that much grey smoke out the exhaust that it chokes you.
It had new oil change, new oil filter.

Check to see if there is coolant mixing with the engine oil. Make sure the coolant level isn't low. You may need to check engine compression to confirm it isn't a bad head gasket. Coolant will burn white/light gray.
