I don't know of any ratio but a little goes a LONG way. I used a quart in the last system I flushed when I changed an oil cooler and it took forever to get out. About 15 fill, run, and drains with no thermostat in place.

when using simple green use about a 1/3 gallon bottle at a time.

Do the initial flush with a garden hose and then go to distilled water. Will save you a ton of distilled. This is with the t-stat out of course.
