I changed my oil this weekend, too. Went with Royal Purple 10w-40 because I drive very little during the winter and it does not get super cold around here. IMHO 30 weight is a tad thin for a 986.

I am not getting any smoke like you described. The engine does seem to run quieter compared to my previous fill which was Mobil 1 0w-40.
