Quick swirl of blue smoke

Hello, I just got back from a 15 mile trip after changing oil and filter. 8 qts of the WalMart $19.00 Rotella 5w40 synthetic (thanks for the heads-up). I got ten miles from home and noticed a quick swirl of blue smoke in the rear view mirror that seemed to come from the exhaust. i noticed no driveability concerns, abnormal sounds, etc. All gauges normal. It has not done it since, but I am taking a 200+ mile trip in the morning. Has anyone had this happen? if so, what is the reasoning?
