Should we revise our preliminary notice if the owner has changed?

CaliforniaPreliminary Notice
Anonymous Sub-Subcontractor

We are working on a project and received a change order notifying us that the owner has changed. Should we send a revised preliminary notice? We are in California and already passed the 20 day deadline. Does the change in owner impact the validity of the notice? Could we still file a lien against the original owner if there are payment issues? Or do we need to actually revise the notice to include the new owner in order to maintain our rights?
