Yes, double-tipped platinums to be exact.
The single tipped is rated for 60k.

I think the tranny fluid is due around 35k though.....and I think it's a special kind of fluid.

The general consensus is that plat's should be changed at 60k, since the chance of the plug siezing in the head increases with time.

I don't know if I believe this, since a friend who bought a 85k mile 240 had no problem pulling his plugs out.

Anywho, I know that those little platinum pucks will fall off way before 100k.

Personally, I am not gonna worry about it, since my motor has 65k, and I will probably sell in a few years. (i drive about 10k a year... x 2 < 100k)

Transmission fluid: It depends on your trans, I didn't catch what year your car is. I think the five speed auto requires matick, and the four speed is maticD (but you can use dexron III w/ lubegaurd).
