Aha, the plot thickens! You will need to change all the plugs. Have fun with the one below the power steering pump and the front muffler...I would also go ahead and change the oil/filter again so that you absolutely know you have the right amount. You should take all the plugs out, give each hole a little squirt of carb cleaner and then turn the engine over with the starter to clean the leftover oil from the combustion chamber (with all the plugs removed). Also, take the center plenum off the engine along with the air filter assembly and clean all the oil out that you can. I wouldn't try to start it again out of fear that the cylinder will hydraulic lock from fluid in the combustion chamber and possibly bend a connecting rod or damage a piston. The good news is that once you have done this, the engine should start and run no problem. It will still smoke on startup but should keep getting better as it warms up and burns the oil out. The extra servicing probably won't hurt either.
