5* variation from one truck to another is not alot. 210 is not too hot either.

Keep watch on those temps. If the oil temp continues to increase your OEM oil cooler may becoming clogged and could cause major pains later on. If you can monitor the coolant temp and oil temp at the same time they should be within 10*F of one another.

I was wathching the oil temp. compared to the coolant temp today sometimes there would be a 14* tempature difference if the oem oil cooler is getting blocked up is there a way to clean it out, ive flushed every fluid in the truck.

I would run to the nearest diesel shop and get a new oil cooler installed before you end up with an oil cooler, EGR cooler, and head gasket problems.
This is a known issue with the 6.0 and from what I understand you are getting close to problems.
oil cooler would be on my shopping list for sure.

oil needs to be heated above 212 degrees just to get it hot enough to evaporate any condensation in it. don't worry about it

Don't panic...just watch the temps as you do any other gauge. If it starts getting too hot or too large a split between the coolant temp makes plans to get it checked out at the dealer.
