Just throw some in. Doesn't matter. Anything is better than nothing. I don't know of any "rule" or formula. We pour a dishpan of dishwater soap down the toilet sometimes. (Mosly to put more liquid in it). Sometimes we toss in a cup of bleach and a couple gallons of water and drive around and then dump the bleach and rense with clean water so the bleach won't (long term) hurt the rubber on the dump valves. Sometimes we do nothing. Sometimes we drop a chemical pouch in there.
Do dishes, save the dishwater in a pan, and then toss that down the toilet. If you do that, you've got a good start. The idea is to add enough to make everything slippery.
If you want your tanks cleaned, drain them. Add 3 or 4 gallons of water. Put in a few squirts of Dawn Dishwashing liquid, little bit of bleach and then drive around for 10 minutes so it can all slosh around real good. It will break anything loose "hanging around" inside the tank and keep it smelling good.
