I read specs on mcmaster and they are rated up to 90 F only!!! i'm using some of them on my coolant lines and some vacuum tee's... are they good enough for these chemicals and temps??? i'm getting worried

They should be fine, lots of people use em. BTW which were you looking at that are rated 90degreez? McMaster carries several different types of brass fittings... cast red brass, yellow extruded bar stock brass, nickel plated, regular or precision fittings... I'm sure they all are rated differently.
If anything the fittings will hold less than their rated pressures at the higher temperatures, but oil pressure will be less than 100psi anyways, so it doesnt matter. They are all rated to much higher pressures than we will use them for.
