how much low was it ? if it is full now and not overheating it could be the coolant level sensor is sending incorrect reading
what is the [mileage](/topics-mileage-nissan/) on it now?
do you have good heat if you sitting at idle?

ok I got you , so basically you added maybe a quart of coolant not more,as long as no leaks, at 74k, the coolant will evaporate a little, but if you had to fill up the whole reservoir then we have to figure out where coolant went
but if no leaks and saying low, then the sensor issue reading wrong
you can have a coolant pressure tester done to make sure there is no leaks that you can not see it and the pressure help finding it ,if there

ok no problem, the ect coolant will get pushed out of the reservoir so you should be fine
but i would keep my eye on the temperature until u get a chance to take it in and check
