As an ex-mechanic I know when you add the oil into the engine often a little spill . Imagine pouring soda for one bottle to the other the hole is small and sometime a little will run over the side. A funnel can stop this but some garages frown upon the use of funnels because in between uses the oiliness on the funnel will pick up foreign contaminates that are harmful to the engine

They probably just spilt some oil on your exhaust, it will burn off and then the smoking will stop, its usually because of the akward placement of the oil filter
they probably spilled the oil when they were putting it in.
Yes...maybe they spilled some on the exhaust

BUT%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

They could have left the oil fill cap off

thats not good..look under the hood

Take it back to have it checked
Oil spilled on the exhaust, don't worry about it will burn off...
Only if it doesnt go away sometimes when changing the oil on these hondas some oil lands on the exhaust pipe and burns off creating this smoke if you dont feel safe take it back im sure they will check it and clean any residual oil that may be left there continuing to burn off.
I don't think so. A lot of times when they change your oil they do it really fast and spill some. When it heats up it burns causing the smoke. It will probably be fine. Just check your oil and make sure it't not too low. I have heard of ppl not refilling the oil once they drain it and that also could cause the smoke.
definably spilled oil on exhaust
