Default vehicle smoking at start up

This is the 3rd time its done it with in a week so now im a bit worried. As far as I can tell it does not do it while im driving, but as soon as i start it up in the morning, my S shoots smoke from my exhaust and it smells kinda like burnt oil. It smokes for about a minute than after it stops, im not 100% sure if its smoking while im driving but I know at a stand still when i first turn on my car its alot of smoke. The color of the smoke is a mixture of black/grey. I have a 2004 with 110xxx miles, I checked oil levels and they look fine. I know my oil change is coming up soon, but I doubt this should have anything to do with it and incase it matters I use a oem filter with 5.1 qts of amsoil. Iv done spark plugs to it, iv changed the oil and air filter, not sure what other basic maintenance i need to do .
If it matters for any reason, I have a FIPK, Buddyclub pro spec exhaust and a Test pipe, I dont have a CEL due to using 2 spark plug spacers on tpipe

Thanks in advance

Could possibly be fuel related, leaking fuel injector, etc...

Sounds more fuel related, as oil will definitely be a blueish colored smoke....you could pull your injectors and send them off to be cleaned/tested. It's pretty cheap to do.
