Any way to thin this lube out so I can use it on my chain? or do I have to throw it out and purchase a new bottle? Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
You are trying to apply it to a cold chain? Or the bottle is cold? Either will cause the material to gel. Warm the bike and the lubricant to room temperature and then try applying it.

All you are seeing is a physical change. The lubricant didn't go 'bad' because of the cold. Not many things really do go bad because of cold.
