Yes , the two are one in the same .
Full strength antifreeze (coolant) is about $9-$12 per gallon. The premix (50/50)coolant is a few dollars cheaper.
It is possible that the antifreeze is coming from a bad water pump. Clean the engine off. Watch it to see where the antifreeze is leaking from, as it could be a hose instead of the pump.
You didn't mention what year or engine it has but it if the cooling system is void of all coolant, it should hold between 14 to 16 qts of coolant.
If it gets cold enough the coolant will freeze and crack the block if there is no antifreeze.
In 1975 no manufacturer was really recommending a particular coolant. So any good quality antifreeze will do as long as that is all that is in the system. Don't mix coolant types
engine coolant
Antifreeze and coolant are the same thing.
In general, a coolant is any liquid that will keep your car from overheating. While, antifreeze is a liquid coolant that is formulated to withstand sub freezing temperatures without freezing to a solid state.same thing but different name,but i guess coolant is to keep your engine cool and the antifreeze also does the same plus it keeps your engine safe from frezing as well.
This is used to keep the motor from overheating and from freezing. Thus the name "antifreeze" and "coolant".
Engine coolant is what I'm assuming you are talking about. Engine coolant is a mix of water and etholyn glycol (antifreeze). It pulls heat away from your engine block that builds up from the friction of moving parts. The coolant mix allows the coolant to get cold to a point and not freeze because of the etholyn glycol. It is also not good to put straight antifreeze into your engine because antifreeze does not have as much cooling potential as water antifreeze mix. Also if you have just antifreeze in your engine the antifreeze will boil at a much lower temperature than a mix of aproxamalty 50/50.
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
Antifreeze, or engine coolant, is a liquid used to transport heat away from an engine. Antifreeze is mixed with water to lower the freezing point of the liquid to protect components in cold temperatures.
( YES ) you can buy premixed engine coolant ( antifreeze mixed with water ) or concentrated antifreeze
Antifreeze helps the engine run cooler in the hot months and prevents the coolant from freezing in cold weather.

Yes
In automotive terms, yes.
