Sounds like too much oil. Excess is burned (smoke), maybe also it comes out of your fill cap and gets in contact with hot parts of the engine. Any signs of leaking in the engine compartement?

Advise: drain and refill with correct capacity and let it be checked by your shop/dealer.

You thought it was low so you dump in 5 quarts?
Does this forum have a troll filter?
