2nd gear grinding

So my 2nd gear has started grinding whenever I downshift from 3rd to 2nd over 30mph. If I wait until the car gets to 20mph I can downshift from 3rd to 2nd without any grinding. I changed my tranny fluid about 10k ago and I started using Red Line MT90, soon after changing it to Red line is when I started noticing but it has gotten worse. Since I don't want to force it into second gear I have gotten used to downshift only when it reaches 20mph.

Will I have to replace the 2nd gear synchros? or can a better quality transmission oil help it out?

On my turbo honda civic third gear was grinding at some point and I started using GM Synchromesh oil and that stopped the grinding. So I am wondering if I can do the same for the yaris... Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
