Did we forget to mention that you don't want to fill your oil all the way to the full mark? If you keep topping it off, this might explain your symptoms. I think it's 6.4 quarts, and this won't bring you to the full mark. Any more and you will smoke until it pulls the extra through the CCV.

6.3-.4 qts stock size oil filter vs. 7qts for oversize. Fill by those #s; crank up and run for a minute or so; parked on a dead level surface (dip stick is very sensitive to slope) turn off for at least 5 minutes; check level on dip stick and mark as needed for future level checks.
