I would guess any petroleum type solvent with a reasonable vapour pressure. Personally I would try white spirit (coleman fuel) or toluene/xylene.
I'm not sure what type of hydraulic fluid is used in chair suspensions/shocks. I'm guessing that it would be similar to shock fluid in e.g. MTB shocks; but be aware that some hydraulic fluids, e.g. those used in car brakes, and heavy industrial duties, are nasty stuff...
