I agree that the first thing is to change the oil.
Sounds like a bad synchro, which you can keep driving essentially forever or until it drives you crazy, whichever comes first.
Try this. When you shift from first to second, first pull back slightly on the gear shift lever and keep pressure on it before you engage the clutch. Then, while still holding the pressure on the lever, put the clutch in. It should go into gear with no grinding.
The key to this technique is finding the right pressure to exert on the gear shift lever. If you pull back too hard it grinds, same if you pull back too softly. But the key is to apply pressure to the lever before you engage the clutch.
