you could poor it directly in your Trottle body, which is right where your air intake tube connect with the engine.

I suggest break booster. There should be a hose that runs from it to the motor. Pop it off and put a funnel in and start pooring, about a 1/3 threw there 1/3 in your gas tank and a 1/3 in the oil and drive a few mile like 20 and change your oil. You will have to keep your hand on the throttle because it will want to stall. Make sure you shut it off and give it 5 minutes before restarting, and then watch the smoke show...then go for your ride.

TB ingestion was really easy and you get to work the throttle

If you pop the brake boost line your engine will run like crap. Find a vacuum line with good suction and use that.

Kind of like the brake booster line? :p
That's the line I've used on every other vehicle I've owned. It will not run quite normal, but that's OK for the couple minutes this process this takes. Usually I'll let it slowly suck about a 1/3 of the can down then really tilt the can and stall the engine out. Wait 15 min and start the smoke show. Give 'er hell. Haven't done the Alero yet though.

I've got a 2.4 and its alot easier to pour right down the throttle body, and don't forget to keep it going or it will die out. I did like 3/4 of the bottle, let it sit for like 10 minutes and then started back up, and my engine must have been pretty clean cause there was alittle smoke but not alot.
