My 09 is at 22K and I'm thinking of changing mine just to mess with it for funzies. I would think that unless you're tracking the car that amount of fluid will be OK for DD. Hey, according to SOP, you're supposed to remove the top plug first (incase you drain it and the top fill plug won't be stuck). When you removed that one first, did fluid run out? If not, then it wasn't up to the hole full to begin with.

Factory Service Manual indicates thusly:

Manual transmission gear oil 2.83 liter, 5 pt
Genuine NISSAN Manual Transmission
Fluid (MTF) HQ Multi 75W-85 or API GL-4,
Viscosity SAE 75W-85 or 75W-90
